The President of the Board explained the meeting was requested in order
to clarify the wearing of uniforms by special police officers, it being
the contention of the Board that uniforms worn must be those prescribed
for special police officers and the wearing of a different type uniform
is a violation of the State statute. There followed a discussion concern -
the wearing of uniforms not prescribed for special police officers,
Mr. Riley taking the position that the wearing of ADT uniforms is not in
violation of the State statute.
